    Hoosier_RN replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hoosier_RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is Concierge Medicine Elusive for Most?

    Hoosier_RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    What was nursing like in the year of 2000?

    Hoosier_RN replied to jezun's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hoosier_RN replied to RobertJo's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you know what the MD will say, in the name of CYA, call. Pts like that love to complain and will also put crazy stuff on surveys. It doesn't matter if your clinic manager knows, or their boss...
